Brewers (8) @ Giants (5) 7/19 -- Tastes Great, Less Filling

Tastes Great:

Brewers offense--One day after cranking out 9 runs, 11 hits, and 8 extra-base hits the Brewers delivered 8 runs on 12 hits and 6 walks with 9 of them being extra-base hits.

3, 4, 5 hitters--Braun, Fielder, and Hart combined to go 7 for 14 with 4 runs scored but oddly only 2 RBI.  5 of the hits were extra--basers including a splash shot into McCovey Cove by Prince and Braun's second triple in as many games.

Ben Sheets--Didn't have his best stuff but still should have gotten the win.  A two-run error by JJ and a blown save by Stetter kept him from getting that win.  Plus he had a double.  CC must be teaching him some new tricks.

Less Filling:

Bill Hall--The only regular without a hit and had 3 strikeouts.  So much for killing lefties.

Brewers offense--Despite producing a lot of numbers, there were some problems hidden amongst them.  The Brewers had 12 hits with 9 of them being extra-basers.  They also had 6 walks.  However, they "only" scored 8 runs.  With those kinds of numbers you'd usually expect a double digit run output.  However, Brewers hitters stranded 23 runners on base and had to get the benefit of an error by the Giants that allowed two runs to score.
